Why Does Corbett Prep Commit to M.O.R.E?

The teacher has long been accepted as the most influential variable in the student learning process. At Corbett Prep, that starts with M.O.R.E. (Multiple Options for Results in Education).

We invest time, energy, and dollars in staff development that provides the teacher with training to stay current and on the cutting edge of learning opportunities. In the Olympic tradition, the best keep getting better the more they train, rehearse, and investigate powerful tools for self-development and instruction. A healthy, confident teacher with a “bag filled to the brim with options” is more likely to be equipped to handle the uniqueness of each child within the diversity of the school learning community.

Corbett Prep has become a model school for implementing multiple brain-friendly strategies derived from the most cutting-edge research available. Our focus on cooperative learning strategies, learning styles, multiple intelligences, processing styles, positive communication, selected music, and so much more reflects our continuous effort to capitalize on scientific findings. We apply this knowledge to increase student engagement and accelerate learning in an emotionally healthy environment that is joyful and challenging, encouraging and expanding, creative and productive.

We have been able to attract and keep “first-class” teachers due to our professional staff development policy. This policy respects and recognizes the teacher as the key to the future. We can show our gratitude for their service to society through respect, support, and mega-opportunities for continued growth. Therefore, we have focused on training specifically to support their valuable work in developing human potential for learning and living that will leave a legacy for which we can all be proud.
